Holding On To Hope

People I know around me float past with the debris

Saying they don’t mind, such is life, as they float on down the street

I heard the worst is to come, I heard the words

Look above and find your home in Me

In this storm

I’m holding on to hope, hope, hope

And never letting go, no, no

Even when the storm it grows, hope, hope

Will never let me go, no, no

‘Til I go on home

People build homes using pieces of broken virtue and philosophy

When people place hope in people I notice even more broken dreams

I know that time is so short, there’s something in store, a home I’ve never seen

In this storm, o in this storm

I’m holding on to hope, hope, hope

And never letting go, no, no

Even when the storm it grows, hope, hope

Will never let me go, no, no

‘Til I go on home

Only a trace, no face to face

So here I wait with this poor reflection

Running a race, scared I’m going to break down

Give me strength, Your protection

Only a moment, a passing of time

Until the day when faith is sight

Only a moment, like a flashing of light

So keep me safe, keep me nigh

Keep my way homeward bound

When the rain’s pouring down

Keep me safe, keep me safe

I’m holding on to hope

Never letting go, no, no

‘Til the day I come on home, hope, hope

And finally fully know
